Literary pretentions?

I borrowed this Lisa over at Purlmialoggia. Let's see how I do. Not as 'good' as someone who's English or American, I bet. Some of these books I've never even heard of. But ne'er mind.

What we have here is the top 106 books most often marked as “unread” by LibraryThing’s users. As in, they sit on the shelf to make you look smart or well-rounded. Bold the ones you’ve read, underline (I substituted this with and italicize because I haven't got a quick way of doing underline in Blogger) the ones you read for school, italicize the ones you started but didn’t finish.Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell

Hello! I am having more than the usual amount of spam on the blog at the moment, so I have had to make some changes to the settings for comments.

If you are unable to leave a comment, it's not you, it's the blog. Hopefully the situation goes back to normal soon so we can have a civilized non-spammy conversation. ;-) Thank you for your patience. xo, Carina

* * Please note: some internal links on the blog/site may show up as "Google Error - Not Found". I am aware of this happening, I just haven't had time to fix them; this happens where the link is missing the www part, if you add this, the link should work fine. If you notice any 'bad' links like this, please let me know. Thank you for understanding. - Carina * *

You are welcome to use the tutorials and patterns for your own personal crafting pleasure. And if you like them, feel free to share links to them. You can even borrow an image or two if you link back here. Sharing is nice, it's what makes the crafty blogosphere so great! But stealing other people's content and passing it off as your own is not nice at all. So don't be that guy. Or gal.

Translating my tutorials or removing my copyright notice from images and posting the content as your own is not allowed. Thank you.
